Mistletoe CP Soap Recipe Prepare Your Lye Solution

Weigh out 517 grams of distilled water. Slowly add 199 grams of lye. Stir until the lye is dissolved. Allow your lye to cool to room temperature. While you are waiting for your lye to cool, weigh out and melt your oils.

Next, divide your soap batter. Pour 200 grams of your soap batter into each of the bowls containing green soap colorant. Use the stick blender to mix the color into the soap. For the red portion, you will only need about 15 grams of soap batter. You will also need to mix the color in by hand. Once colored, place the batter into a decorating bottle.

The uncolored portion of the soap batter can be poured into your mold at a light trace. Now, begin with the darker green soap batter. Pour a line of dark down the center of your mold. You want to pour it down the longer length of the mold. Then, pour the lighter green right on top of the darker green. Now pour another layer of each color using the same method.

Mistletoe CP Soap Recipe Swirling the Leaves and Adding Berries

The green portion of the soap is meant to resemble leaves. You will see the two green colors you poured will rest on the top of the loaf. You will use your wooden skewer to swirl the two colors. Place your skewer in one corner of the mold. Then, move the skewer in an “S” motion until you get to the other side of the mold.

Finally, we will be using the red soap batter to place dots resembling berries. Using the decorating bottle filled with the red batter add dots to the top of the soap. You will want to place them either on top of the green soap, or close to them. Also, keep in mind you will be slicing your loaf. You may want to pay attention to where you place them. This way you aren’t slicing right through the middle of a bundle of berries.

Once your soap has set up, after about 24 hours, remove the mistletoe soap from the mold. Lastly, once it is firm enough, slice it. Of course, you will want to let it cure before using it.
